2002 Navi update

So there seems to be some confusion as to whether or not this system can be updated to the latest/greatest version of the navi disk. I got an email from a local dealer who is trying very hard to gain traction in the area. Their service is not bad, but their people need to understand that I expect a certain level of courtesy from a dealer and I'm not willing to budge on that. I get treated very well at my usual dealer, which is why he's my usual dealer.

All that being said, can we update to the new 2008 disk, or is there a limitation to a previous version? I did search, but as I said, there seems to be some confusion as to the date capability.

Also, I've seen people selling copies of the disk on Craigslist and I was wondering how difficult it might be to update mine. I see no disk slot in the trunk, but I wasn't willing to really tear into it and see what was what yet.

Thanks all!

Thanks for the head's up on the bootleg. I thought it seemed way too good to be true to get it for $75. Anyone know how much the 8.1 disc is from Sewell?

Thanks again,
